How many copies of the next album do you think they'll sell? 200,000 worldwide? Maybe. Their not going to lose a single sale by having that recording posted here.>
I'm with the Trapezoid on this one.
Surely it's a little paranoid to think that the band or their management would take too much exception to this? I mean we're talking about what sounds like a very rough mix of an unfinished future track. These kind of promos can only increase the hype amongst hardcore fans of what's to follow. I alone bought over 30 singles, album variations, promos, alternate formats, etc of Get Ready era stuff and I can't imagine the band would be so concerned if I got my hands on this. It's not as though I could've been at the gig.
If it's going to get Spotnick into hot water then let's distribute it privately. We're the ones who keep this band recording. It's a different kettle of fish to someone posting a legitimate single, everyone downloading it and it ending up costing the band income through lost sales.

Had it on good authority yesterday that Hooky is seriously pissed off with this [putting the NO track on line]. Not one to say 'I told you so, but...
'
Don't think it's got anything to do with impact on future sales, that kinda cold logical analysis is a mile wide of the mark. I would say it's got more to do with airing unreleased material without the bands consent. Also an audience recording from a DJ spot might not contain the level of quality the band would like!
Actually quite surprised you thought I was being paranoid Simon, everything we know and hear about the band e.g. Barney's feelings over the LIVE Retro CD, pointed towards this going down like the proverbial cup of cold sick. Didn't it?
On reflection, it's a good job this didn't work and Gary's suggestion to share it privately was surely the more street wise approach. On a slightly different note, another no-show from Slippy yesterday!. This geezers reputation for reliability is ripped apart and he's only been on here 5 minutes. On this occasion, failure to deliver is a blessing in disguise.
A few things to straighten out and then hopefully this thread will go forever 
It was not me who 'snuck' a MD recorder in
The so called MD was fucking shite and had nothing resembling New Order on it
I have never posted anything copyrighted online!
The reason for the no-show is my dad was admitted to hospital with an infection (he has cancer) and is in a very bad state! - So fuck you!
- get your fucking facts right before gobbing off about other users! BTW I seem to have more posts than you!
I'll get my coat! :\pissedoff:
ps to Hooky: I was never gonna post a track to the Internet, I ain't that stupid! And thanks for Twenty Four Hours - my life would not have been the same without it - Slippy out!
